Is a JOIN faster than a WHERE?

Question

Suppose I have two tables that are linked (one has a foreign key to the other):

CREATE TABLE Document (
  Id INT PRIMARY KEY,
  Name VARCHAR 255
)

CREATE TAB         


        

Answer 1

It is a "standard" to use the INNER JOIN syntax, although practically equivalent. The main reason it should be used is for clarity and mobility purposes as it is consistent with OUTER JOIN syntax.
